It is difficult to specify exactly how many Australians suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). It is generally thought however that around 9% of women and 25% of men in Australia have clinically significant OSA and that 4% of men and women have symptomatic OSA. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea in Australia is probably increasing due to the ‘obesity epidemic’ in this area. Despite this, a large proportion of Australians with OSA remain undiagnosed and untreated.

The mechanism which causes snoring is based on the physical forms of your airways. When you sleep, the muscles of your throat relax, and your throat becomes narrower and floppy.

This process is normal even for a healthy person. However, if the airway narrows too much, airflow becomes turbulent. This airflow current makes the walls of the throat begin to vibrate when you breathe in or when you breathe out.

Overweight and Obesity, Hypotonia, Abnormal anatomy of the airway Alcohol and medicines

Snoring is a lot more than just annoying for your partner, it also means poor sleep quality and quantity for you. It is important to note that snoring does not explicitly mean that you have a sleep disorder like Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).

Sleep apnoea causes your breathing to be obstructed, causing you to wake up. Regular snoring, on the other hand, doesn’t typically wake you up. To tell the difference between standard snoring and OSA, look for these symptoms:;

Waking up in the night gasping for air

Continual sleepiness during the day

Snoozing with your mouth open

These are signs of potential sleep apnoea.

The mechanism which causes snoring is based on the physical form of your airways. When you sleep, the muscles of your throat relax, and your throat becomes narrower and floppy.

Physical characteristics including a cleft palate, and enlarged adenoids

Sinus and nasal congestion

Being overweight which leads to poor muscle tone

Smoking, alcohol, and medications

Sleeping position as sleeping on your back can cause the flesh in your throat to relax and block the airway.

How it Works

Laser snoring treatment in Melbourne at Chelsea Cosmetics is usually done in the doctor’s office with a patient fully awake and sitting in a chair. A complete snoring treatment consists of one to three sessions, each four weeks apart. Each session takes only 15 to 30 minutes.

Afterward, the patient is able to eat, speak and return to daily activities. Some patients experience a severe sore throat following snoring treatments. Medication is available as necessary. A reduction in snoring after the first session is common. After the snoring treatments are completed, 85 percent of patients report that their snoring has been helped.

No one likes a bad night’s sleep, Chelsea Cosmetics Melbourne have an experienced team on hand to help if you or your partner is suffering from your snoring.

Simple, Safe and Effective

Fotona’s patented laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth but strong enough to provide clinically effective heating.

NightLase can reduce and attenuate snoring and it provides a practical, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of snoring.

A Patient Friendly Solution

A full course of NightLase non-surgical procedures, consists of three separate treatment sessions over a two month period. The final results of the treatment have been shown to last up to a year, and the therapy can be repeated.

Patients find NightLase to be a highly comfortable and satisfying solution. NightLase requires no device to be worn during sleep and involves no chemical treatment. It’s a gentle and easy way for your patients to regain a good night’s rest.

Superior Performance

The SP Line systems offered at Chelsea Cosmetics are equipped with a high-performance Er: YAG laser that maximizes ablation efficiency with proprietary VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology, which can be accurately tuned to varying “cold” ablation and non-ablative thermal ratios. Full customizability allows you to precisely attain the clinical outcomes your patients desire.

The Nd: YAG laser on each system perfectly complements the Er: YAG lasers ablative action with the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin to create thermal effects without damaging the skin surface. This is compared to conventional Nd: YAG technologies.
